On Sunday, we prayed for peace in a divided world by choosing a country to pray for while we stitched these broken hearts back together. May God's love and peace heal all nations.

In worship today, we explored the idea of hunger stones. In the UK and Europe, when the water level drops, stones at the bottom of the river are revealed. They are carved with the dates dating back centuries, times when the water dropped so low, the crops failed and the animals and people went hungry.
Things in life can seem desperate as we too have our metaphorical 'hunger stone' moments. You may notice the stone in the picture has dates chalked on it. These are the years shared by our congregation of times when our personal lives or world events left us utterly feeling depleted. Even in this state, as theologian Paul Tillich reminds us, God is the ground of being. No matter how low the water level drops in our lives, God is beneath us, with us, supporting us. We are not alone in our hunger and thirst. And like Moses and the Rock of Horeb, the water will rise again and gush forth, pouring out God's abundant love for us.
What are the hunger stone moments in your life? How does knowing God is the ground of being change the way you feel about your situation?

Big thanks to Seasonal Sketches for coming to our worship service to share a new take on two familiar Bible stories: The Feeding the 5000 and Bartimaeus Regains his Sight. In response, the kids then got stuck into painting clay fish (more to come on this little project ...).
